To enter the raffle, all you need to do is pick up a raffle card and visit 5 shops during the Holiday Stroll on Saturday. At each shop you’ll need to have a staffperson mark that you’ve been there. Once you have 5 marks on your raffle card, you can drop it off at the business of your choice to enter thier raffle. Each business will be raffling off their own prize, and each person can enter only one business’s raffle- so choose wisely!

This will be a great way to get some of your Christmas Shopping done, or get a special treat for yourself– with none of the guilt!

*Please note that raffle prizes may change without notice, and that each shop is responsible for the handling of its own raffle.
